Chapter Twenty-Nine: Cotton and White Rice Changed

The hut was poorly built, and the paddy was stored in the yard, and there were a few long knives near the door.

Song He'er dared to predict that the people living in the neighborhood must not be ordinary people, otherwise, the people in front of the drought would have eaten grass roots and bark, and this family would still be able to live here safely?

Song He'er walked to the courtyard of this family with a steady step, saying that it was a courtyard, but it was just a fence tied with tree branches, which did not play any role at all except for blocking some wild cats.

"Anyone?" Song He'er asked in a whisper.

After a while, a middle-aged man with a scruffy beard came out of the house, dressed in an alien costume and looking ugly.

"Who are you? What do you come in for? ”

"Uncle, we fled from the north and want to exchange some rice with you!"

The man looked Song He'er up and down, and replied impatiently: "How do you know that I must have rice here?" ”

"Uncle, you can live so leisurely in this difficult place, you must have the ability to be around, you must be very powerful!"

Slapping on the back is Song Heer's usual trick, if he is happy, maybe he will be willing to let go and exchange things with her after a while.

Sure enough, the man's attitude became a little more subdued, "There is some food, but I have to eat it myself, you better go and look elsewhere!" ”

As he spoke, he closed the door and entered the house.

Song He'er ran forward and blocked his way.

"I said you dead girl, I don't understand what I'm saying, I said, I don't have anything for you to eat!" As he spoke, he pushed her away and was about to close the door.

Song He'er took out a few round pearls from her sleeve and handed them directly to him, "These, as a reward for you and me, but it depends on whether you have anything worth this price here!" ”

The man's eyes lit up when he saw the valuable thing, and he wanted to reach out and grab the pearl in Song He'er's hand.

"Yo, such a round pearl is really rare in Xizhou!"

Song He'er put the pearl back in her sleeve, raised her head, and looked at him seriously, "Uncle, we agreed in advance, we want to exchange things for something, you don't want to give me food for nothing, and I won't give you silver money for nothing!" ”

When the man saw that there was money to be made, he didn't want to agree, after all, in this land, he was just a sentry, although there was endless rice and noodles to eat every day, but there was no money income, and now he could get a good pearl, he was naturally overjoyed.

"Okay, what do you need?"

"White rice, cotton, and a tent to keep out the cold!"

The man thought for a long time, and then he replied: "I have white rice and a tent to protect from the cold, but I don't have much cotton, you know, I am the only one living here, what do I want so much cotton for?" ”

Song He'er felt that what he said also made some sense, after all, cotton is a thing that can be worn for several years when used to make a piece of clothing, and no family will hoard dozens of catties at home.

"Then you can show me the rice and the tent!"

The man nodded, and made a gesture toward her to walk in, "Let's go inside and see." ”

Song He'er raised her vigilance and followed the man into the hut.

The house is neatly furnished, the tables and chairs are spotless, only some sundries in the corners of the wall, which are a bit eye-catching.

"This is the tent, which I use to hunt on weekdays, enough for seven or eight people to sleep."

"Seven or eight people? That's not enough! ”
